[Feedback] Blacklist is better, but not good enough.

[Astronis]

This is such a clearly beneficial and obvious improvement to the blacklist, I'm surprised there are people in this thread arguing against it.

There hasn't been anyone arguing against it in this thread on the merits, but I will now: I explicitly do NOT want the blacklist to function in this way. When I blacklist someone I want it to be done with maximum stealth, not a blatant announcement right in front of them (by my avatar vanishing while they look on) that they've been blocked by me.

If it would be optional that would be fine but it certainly would not be, so no, I don't want the blocklist to function in this manner on the merits of it. It is sufficient for me to remove from my digital sight people I no longer want to see or hear from, I don't need it to be done so in a way that announces to them that I've done it.
